Pretty sure I got sick from going to a convention. Sore-ish itchy throat, mild fever, weak, coughing, nose is running, ears are kind of plugged, etc.
How do I get over this as fast as possible? I just wanna get back in the gym. Haven't been sick in years
I'm also still eating at a 500 cal deficit, should I stop that? Didn't know if I should have put this in qtddtot, sry in advance.

rest alot, both physically and mentally, consume alot of fluids (water, tea), don't starve but don't stuff yourself full either, just eat until you're satiated, and try to stay away from heavy, greasy foods like burgers and pizza, etc.
Also sleep as much as you need to, and don't rush recovery or you'll just end up having to miss even more gym days.
Just take as many of those vitamin C packs that you stir into water and effervescent tablets for colds as you can plus a bunch of Gatorade and you can throw some coffee and non-drowsy antihistamines into the mix. You'll be fine by tomorrow.
Don't bother with any form of Tylenol. It doesn't reduce swelling, it's just a painkiller. You want IBUPROFEN not acetominophen.Take 800mg of Advil instead (that's 2 extra strength) 2x per day at least 6h apart. Should totally eliminate the swelling in your throat and sinuses so that you can breathe easy.
Drink lots of fluids. Sleep well. Don't fall for any meme herbal remedies like oil of oregano or echinacea or vitamin C.
Stay away from foods that take long to digest.

i right there with you brah
i'm on that dayquil shit
>>41818332
>325mg acetominophen x2
>10mg dextromethorphan x2
>5mg phenylephrine
The only useful ingredient in this DayQuil trash is the dextromethorphan. Which you wouldn't need anyway if you're taking IBUPROFEN to reduce swelling.
Take a Benylin Cough and Chest for better effects + Advil if you really need to.

i find both dayquil and nyquil to help me feel better and rest easier. Without them, its pretty annoying to be awake and try to fall asleep.
But yeah, basically what everyone here is saying. The best result i get is when i drink a shit ton of water.

gatorade is a meme

>DayQuil
>NyQuil
Literally memes. NyQuil doesn't even contain a sleep aid.

DRINK LOTS OF FLUIDS (2 JUGS ORANGE JUICE OR WATER A DAY MIN)
VITAMIN B50
TYLENOL
CURES IT IN A DAY
Don't listen to these fucking retards. Let your fever kill whatever infection your body has...do not fight it unless it gets above 103. Stay hydrated, take extra vitamin c and d. Eat well and rest. Your body needs its
Strength to fight infection.

Yeah you should listen to this guy he obviously knows what he's talking about. Make sure to dry behind your ears, zip your jacket up, don't step on any cracks, and sleep on your back so the demons can't finger your butthole while you're vulnerable.
Thanks for all the replies friendos
Gonna be spending this weekend in bed or on my couch then
Fasting and sleep helps. Make sure to drink fluids too
